Quicken Now Supports Crypto - Sort Of

It is hard to find, but Quicken now supports Crypto Symbols, such as:
INDEX:NQETH for Ethereum, possibilities also include INDEX:NYXBT and INDEX:ETHUSD200. For Bitcoin, you can use INDEX:NQBT. I would like someone to tell me about other tokens, such as VeChain and VETHOR. To get precise results you probably want to enable 8 decimal digits for quotes vs. the default 6 by going to Preferences>Investments. To enter them in the security list remember the prefix INDEX: and after you create the security edit the security and change the security type to CRYPTO. I have no idea if Quicken does anything else to support crypto. Tag your submission as "Crypto Currency".

Please add: where to find crypto symbols that can be used with Quicken. Also whether there is anything in Quicken beyond allowing for 8 decimal digits on quotes and the new Security Type "Crypto Currencies".0

Thank you for posting this. INDEX:NQBT and INDEX:NQETH work for me (Quicken Mac), although it annoyingly changed the security name when I added it (had to change it back).
+1 on finding the complete list of crypto currency prices supported!0 -
You can test to see what quotes are available by clicking the "Add Security" button and start typing the security name or symbol (pair) preceded with an "^" ie: "^BTCUSD" brings up the following: (see attached image)Clearly, quotes are not available for all coins. For example I have coin ranked ~#84 on CoinGecko and no quote is available via Quicken.Happy hunting!

Also, in regards to decimal precision in Quicken, we're stuck with only 8 decimal places at maximum. Apparently the developers never paid gas fees on Ethereum transactions to moved coins from a hardware wallet to an exchange, because they can go well beyond the 8 decimal place limit. So again, Quicken has only 'Sort of" added support for crypto.0

I was just able to update my Ethereum using this symbol from another poster. INDEX:NQETH0

Thanks! I've been trying to figure out how to add Dogecoin for the last hour, and your comment got me there. Cheers!0
